RemoExternal Sub Muff'l Bass Drum System 18 in. Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for an 18-inch bass drum, Remo’s External Sub Muff’l is an external damping system for heads without built-in external damping. Its free-floating plastic profile and slip-resistant foam inserts sit outside the head, leaving the head in full contact with the bearing edge. The result retains the drumhead and shell’s character while adding subsonic low end and more attack, without the frequency change associated with glued-on damping profiles. It is suited to live and studio work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Controlling an 18-inch bass drum in live or studio work while retaining full bearing-edge contact.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass drum heads that already have external dampening.
